One thing can be said about the duo of King Khan and BBQ (Mark Sultan), they know how to have fun (just ask their manager who got busted the other week on tour with a sack of shrooms). Their latest collaborative effort Invisible Girl is more bare-bones garage rock spliced with doo-wop that doesn't wow but it doesn't disappoint either and at no point do they take themselves too seriously. Over simple rhythms and fairly generic lyrics (girls, partying) they have the ability to instill the fact that they are having fun and isn't that what it's all about? Ripping through a barrage of songs (just 12 actually), Invisible Girl manages to touch upon a number of styles (punk, doo-wop, straightforward rock, and general weirdness/offensiveness (ie., "Animal Party" "Tastebuds") while maintaining that "good times" vibe. Like it or hate it, you cannot deny their desire to embody the spirit of rock 'n roll.
3.5/5.0
